Javier Elzo: I feel shy

Francisco’s death is the subject of one thousand comments. The majority of betting. Even everything, at least, I didn’t see … Nothing is negative. I personally wrote in some of my books and my articles also positive comments on the character of Francisco, although there are aspects of Pontvot that left me with honey on the lips. Like many Christians and non -believers, we felt sad and disappointed, for example, by verifying that after multiple expressions towards women and their role in the world and in the church, he did not decide to break his glass roof into a church and opposed bosom, with weak arguments, to establish the priest. The crystal ceiling that has already passed the other Christian churches of the Protestant brand.
I remember that I published an article on this method, about a trip to England, commenting on how we and I and I, my wife, to the Eucharist in the San Pablo de London Cathedral, chaired by a woman from the Priest of the Anglican Church. I finished my text, to some extent with these words: I am very confident, I can attend the Eucharist in the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd in Dunosti, or in Bugonia in Bilbao, headed by a woman. But I really find four grandchildren and grandchildren. And with 83 years, waiting for it is hopeless. The case of women in the Catholic Church is felt by a great shame. I do not see a more reason than the historical stagnation of his explanation, instead of not justifying it.
But I do not want this article after the death of Pope Francis will remain with a negative note. It would be unjust to this Argentine man, in which the Buenos Aires Cathedral prayed more than once, and was a professor at Salvador University, a center that established the University of Desto academic relations with him. The Argentine man, yes, Father Jorge, who has already received 40 votes in the flavor that chose Ratsinger.
The system that governs the Catholic Church to choose potatoes is negotiable. Remember, at least in one of my books that I have expanded in some detail, in about 400 pages, in a proposal on how to choose the door back without pledged it exclusively by the vote of the Cardro -separated from the world. With modern communication techniques, it will be possible to share the religious and publicity of both sexes.
Many felt disappointed that Francisco did not break the crystal ceiling of the woman and allowed his priestly arrangement

But I do not want to impression that, in my opinion, the current papal selection system, where most of the Cardinals were chosen by the newly deceased, as is the case now, to assume that the Cardinate will choose, among them, one of the rope that the Pope called. It seems that the freedom of 137 of the Cardinals in this range, the vast majority of the advanced age, which deposits a name in a jar, is indisputable. They are the elderly, in their ecclesiastical lives if they do not end, very advanced. In addition, we have recently we have an issue confirming this freedom of choice. After the death of Paul VI, it was chosen from the name of Juan Pablo I. They will remember that 33 days have died of Puntpt. Another round was opened and the Cardinals themselves chose John Paul II, whose predecessor is not like in nothing.
They will understand that it is impossible to assume who will be the next Pope. We will definitely live a series of “Daddables”, even on the same day when the new flavor is held. The media will be frequented by names, an echo estimated by readers. Also, I do not feel the power to progress that will leave the Pontef model the next Cardinate meeting. I would just like to show the papal model that I would like. I do not think this is important.
I would like to conclude with personal thinking about “being a Christian” today
Christianity is a religion that embodies the comprehensive dimension, as it is registered without a problem in the formation of favorable to the participation of religions in public life. In Western Europe, the Catholic and Protestant churches gradually learned to integrate its own understanding of the fact that it no longer represents, at the present time, the religious standards in the post -era. We live in the passage of Christianity inherited by Christianity by choosing, which does not mean that we must make Tabula for the inheritance of twenty century of Christianity, at the present time, is more universal, geographically, when he was never in history. This new social status of Christianity allows it to enforce it without the complexes of its positions and actions in the current societies, as the state faces difficulty in organizing a large number of concepts of human and the world and the various ethical options that exist.
